Converter

public final class SqlDateConverter
extends DateTimeConverter

DateTimeConverter implementation that handles conversion to and from java.sql.Date objects.

This implementation can be configured to handle conversion either by using java.sql.Date's default String conversion, or by using a Locale's default format or by specifying a set of format patterns. See the DateTimeConverter documentation for further details.

Can be configured to either return a default value or throw a ConversionException if a conversion error occurs.
